Description:
Mg gives you the similar operational feelings as the famous editor GNU Emacs does. Mg is a derived version of MicroEMACS, and a lot of enhancement has been introduced by Bob Larson (blarson@ecla.usc.edu, this address can be found in the README file of Mg but now unreachable unfortunately) and several other developers. You can find a detailed description of Mg in "README" file which is involved in this delivery.
Mg for Win32 is a port of this Mg onto Windows based operating systems such as Windows CE and Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP. After Bob released Mg version 2a, Japanese developers including Shigeki Yoshida did a lot of works on Mg, such as port to MS-DOS, preparing c-mode, and so on. Mg for Win32 is based on this enhanced version of Mg. So, Mg for Win32 provides a lot of enhanced features compared to Mg 2a.
The following is the summary outlining the Mg for Win32:
- Provides the similar operations as the GNU Emacs does.
In addition to key bindings, you can find a lot of similar behaviors in buffers, buffer windows, etc. You must feel that Mg is really a "Micro" Emacs.
Consider how wonderful a single program file with just 200KB can provide such similar feelings as Emacs!
- 'dired', directory editor is supported.
Mg provides selected features of directory editor (dired) which GNU Emacs provides. Tillanosoft added a new feature 'dired-do-shell-command' to dired and it provides a feature to execute arbitrary file listed by dired.
- auto-fill-mode, a convenient mode for creating e-mail messages.
You can wrap your messages around in auto-fill-mode.
Mg (and of course Emacs) provides a feature to specify the both edge of text. It also provides the feature to re-fill the paragraph even after inserting some messages in the paragraph (the function is named fill-paragraph).
